This classic French fish stew with bold flavours uses rockfish locally caught between the towns of Marseille and Toulon. It used to be the food of the poor which the local fishermen made using their unsold rockfish, such as conger eel, spider crab, John Dory, red snapper, red scorpion fish which you can use instead of our ingredients if you are able to source them. In our version, we use more widely available ingredients. Use any good fish bouillon to help with the fishy flavour of the sauce. With plenty of fennel and plenty of tomatoes, it is the perfect companion to the plump fish fillets, poached in the sauce. The bouillabaisse is served with its time-honoured companion Rouille, a spiced garlic Mayonnaise, which you can spread on grilled thick slices of bread rubbed with garlic.
